All weekend, NJ.com users have been discussing the best fit for Rutgers. Is it the ACC, or Big Ten? Or the Big East if it can grab a couple teams from the Big 12? Vote in our poll below to the right, and then check out what NJ.com users are saying.

The Big East is moribund. Rutgers needs to abandon ship, try the Big 10. I knew the Big East was in trouble when Miami and VT left. (However,) adding Kansas and Kansas State to the Big East would be very cool. It's going to be an interesting year.

Why anyone talks about salvaging the Big East is beyond me. Let it die - this hybrid conference that carried the bball-only programs like Seton Hall has been doomed for a long time.

And why does RU prefer the Big Ten vs the ACC? Absolutely no connection to anyone out there, except Penn State and that's a dozen years ago. The ACC is a much better fit from a geographic standpoint and there is no drop off in academics, especially if WV is not in the mix.

It's that old saying about not having a chair when the music stops - somehow UCONN is reported ready for an ACC invite with only a temp AD in place - how come RU is still sitting by the phone?

I understand the anxiety regarding getting into a bigger and better conference but as they say "be careful what you wish for because you just might get it". Right now Schiano is in a conference with a small number of teams and what seems to be a disproportionate number of minor bowl opportunities. Now GS goes bowling by playing a few patsies and getting a little luck. A move to the Big Ten or the ACC would mean more teams, probably fewer bowl options per team and coaching against proven coaches who can both recruit and coach on game day. There won't be any pretenders going to bowls from the ACC or the Big Ten, especially with more teams. Rebuilding the Big East might allow GS to keep doing what he has been doing and having postseason options. Otherwise forget postseason play. Go RU!

The current Big East and Big 12 bowl alignments will need to go somewhere, and pure speculation on my part is that most of them will likely go to Big 10 and the ACC, with some to the SEC and few if any to the Pac 16. Which means that a greater number of the teams in those conferences than today will be bowl bound. And in today's conference world, teams with 7-5 or 6-6 records from the Big 10 go to more prestigious bowls than the 3rd place BE team.

The Big 10 and the ACC are not packed with powerhouses from top to bottom, so at worst, we should still be able to have 6 or 7 win seasons, and keep going to the same crappy bowl games, with a good shot to make it to a better bowl than we've been to before.

RU would be dumb to go to the ACC, who has a huge buyout now in place. RU should be invited to join the Big Ten where the money is better and they mutually benefit by giving the Big Ten the NY market and RU gets a basketball conference it can compete in much easier.

The ACC is a joke of a conference for football and cannot even compete with the big boys. Why join a conference where tons of your away games will be all over the place and your fans cannot attend? If we went to the ACC, I'll bet the Florida schools would go against RU being in their division and then recruiting Florida will hurt as well. At least if we're going to be in a conference, lets go to one that makes sense and the Big Ten makes the most sense for UConn, Rutgers, and West Virginia.
